Cache Failover and Deferred Queue in Laravel 12.35

The Laravel team released version 12.35.0, introducing a cache failover driver, deferred queue dispatching, and more.

#Failover Cache

Taylor Otwell contributed a failover cache driver, which automatically attempts to use configured stores when the primary cache store fails. For example, setting failover as the cache driver will use the database cache store. If it fails for any reason, the array store would be used next in the following example:

'failover' => [
    'driver' => 'failover',
    'stores' => [
        'database',
        'array',
    ],
],

When you've configured the failover driver, you would then update the ENV value as follows:

CACHE_STORE=failover

See the Cache documentation for more details.

#Deferred Queue

Taylor Otwell contributed a deferred queue, which is similar to a "sync" queue, except jobs are processed after the HTTP response is sent to the user.

RecordDelivery::dispatch($order)->onConnection('deferred');

See the Queues documentation for details.

#Clickable File Reference for Thrown Exception

Jason McCreary added a file reference and line number to the thrown exception on the local exception page.

#Neovim

Md. Arif Dewan added Neovim to supported editor links found in ResolvesDumpSource.php. You can configure the app.editor value to neovim to generate Neovim links on the local error page.

return [
    'editor' => 'neovim',
];
